A Plain Understanding.

Close by railroad junction in Alabama
where we had to wait some time for the other
train was a general store, and several Of rs
went over to see how business was done. The
proprietor was little old man with benev-
olent face, and his clerk was his son, who was
a hawk eyed, sharp nosed young man with
no beueynlence about him The customers
were principally negroes, and there was .
great run on some new tin coffee pots Just
unpacked. The one hung up for sample
was marked twenty-five on the bottom
Every time a darky asked the old man for q
coffee pot he was referred to William and
every time William was asked for calico he
referred the customer to father. We saw
this go on until our curiosity was aroused,
and the colonel finally asked the old man for
an explanation.
stranger queried the old man in rUjy.
Yes"
Don't live about herer
"Oh, no; just waiting for the train"
We'll, then, it's just 1his way: William
has the conscience to ask forty cents fur a
twenty five cent coffee pot, and as he's u
leetle sot in his ways let him tend to that
line
But about the calico"
well, try as hard as may, can't ask
over eighteen pence for ten cent calico, and

are, lie never interferes with my side Of the

Criticism Of the Queen.

The Pail Mall Gazette is bitter at the ex-
pense Of Queen Victoria. For years. SAYS an
editorial, her Majesty has heen a sort of She"
to the nation, surrounded with a halo OF mys-
tery, whose existence was matter Of doubt
to many of her subjects. Tue jubilee year
was thought to be an atonenent for long year,
Of moody seclusion. Yet at tue drawing room
on the other day She" lodged out of one of
the back doors of Buckingham palace and
disappointed many thousands of people who
had waited patiently for hours TO catch
passing glimpse Of her face. Last week Cody's
circus was abruptly closed 10 the public In
order to crafty another whim Of our sovereign
lady, and the nation had 10 pay i.G police
men to ward off the attentions OF TOO

The Travelling Public to Blame.

Perhaps collisions at sea between great
steamships will become entirely impos-
sible some day: but il will not be until
:he travelling public gets over its present
hurry. If steamships came 10 a full stop
the moment the fog settled down on them,
CT Just as soon as another fog horn than
their own was heard, there would not be
any serious chance Of their coming to-
gether. BY code of signals under such
circumstances one vessel might even ad-
vance slowly while the other stood ready
to back, until il was certain that they had
passed each other. But this would be
slow wOlk, and the growing Of the pas
sengers at the delay would probably
drive tte commander 10 suicide or vio-
lence. No. the public itself is not yet
quite willing to travel safeiy.-New York

Father on these medals intended for un
tutored savages whose standards OF art are
not supposed to be the highest The por-
traits of Lincoln were ahOmnable- Silver
medals bearing his face have been given the
Indians right along up tn the present time.
This was done partly as a matter Of economy,
the silver medals being II little smaller than
the bronze. and separate dies being required
for them it was quite saving TO use the
Lincoln medal right along through the terms
Of johnson. Grant, Hayes aud Arthur.
Another reason, however, is quite as good,
and certainly more interesting Some tribes
have demanded Lincoln medals. This Was
the case especially among the Sioux They
felt the iron hand of national power in 1872,
when the great outbreak and massacre took
place in Minnesota. and they have ever since
regarded the sainted Lincoln as mighty and
terrible chieftain. Gen Grant with his mild
Quaker policy did not seem TO them as
terrible as Lincoln. Much of this feeling l.
due doubtless, TO the wholesale punishment
which was inflicted under a warrant bearing
Lincoln's signature. whereby thirty -nln-
Sioux were hung on one scaflold at Mankato
in 1853.
The silver medal is worth 81, he bronze
ones eighty cents The latter are far better
dians pI ize them abonI as much. Yet the
head chief Of a tribe receives the silver metal
only, and his heutenants the Others Some
